Brilliant value for the money, I have just put a new set of 912's on the Evo and the grip is honestly better than the F1's I had on.

They'll be better than the toyos mate. In my experience the best set of tyres iv had were dunlop sp sports, closely followed but continentals which are really good in the wet!

Go for the 452's mate or some Proxies.Yoko Parada 2's are also meant to be good.

Same as I used, and the same supplier

Good experiences on both fronts. Would recommend Camskill to anyone TBH.

How much on average is it to get tyres fitted at garages? About £10 each?

Roughly, yeah.

I've seen local places to me do it for £5, £10 + VAT, £15

All depends on where you go (or who you know...)

My cousin works at a tyre place so could do it for me He gets tyres at cost price too

In a way I wish my front tyres weren't new because they're awful and I want rid of them but at the same time I can't afford any more at the moment I think the tracking might be out but I'm not getting it fixed so that it wears the tyres down quicker
